Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 66: The Trapped Military (Additional Updates with Monthly Ticket)
The officer clicked on the holographic star map in front of him. One light point represented a star system, and the lines between one light point and another represented the hyperspace channel.

The hyperspace channels on the star map are not dense. Many times, two light spots are obviously very close to each other, but in fact they don't even pass by.

Without hyperspace channels, we can only fly at super-light speeds, which is too long.

It may only take about a month to travel from one galaxy to another through the hyperspace route. Without the hyperspace route, it would take at least 80 years to fly only through the hyperdrive.

For a war in which the outcome can be determined within a few decades, this is tantamount to the fleet disappearing directly.

Therefore, although you can fly anywhere in the galaxy, there are also "terrain restrictions".

Hyperspace routes determine the fleet's navigation route, and there will also be strategic locations like Shanhaiguan.

As long as one galaxy is defended, the enemy cannot move to other galaxies without breaking through the defenses of this galaxy.

Commonly known as the throat.

Qi Zhengxi's deep-depth strategy is essentially to trade space for time, or to lure the enemy deeper.

Give up all the vast territory outside the Bechi System to the opponent, and then build a super fortress space station on the Bechi System where hyperspace routes converge.

Rely on the super fortress-type space station to launch a decisive battle with the enemy here.

In terms of terrain, there is no problem in choosing the Bechi galaxy. This is the only way for the enemy to continue to enter the heart of the United Nations on Earth. It is a hyperspace channel node connecting the east and west universe.

If the enemy wants to further attack the homeland of the United Nations on Earth, they need to pass through this galaxy, and they can only pass through this galaxy.

But the problem is that the Bechi Galaxy is already the very hinterland of the Earth's United Nations.

Although it blocked the enemy's throat leading to the solar system from the Barnard Galaxy and the Cologne Galaxy, it also gave up the two outer systems with colonized planets.

Fatel administrative star and Alpha power star.

The administrative center of Fatel is the main reason why the Earth United Nations can currently maintain its vast territory without being divided.

It is filled with various government administrative supervision agencies, responsible for the administrative dispatch of the entire huge multi-system United Nations.

Once the administrative capacity falls below the scale of the empire, signs of planetary rebellion will inevitably appear over time.

The immigrants will overthrow the central government on the colonial planet, become independent from the United Nations on Earth, and transform from a directly governed planet to an autonomous planet.

The Alpha Power Generation Center is covered with nuclear fusion power stations, responsible for producing ultra-high-density energy batteries for the entire United Nations, and its power generation accounts for 30% of the United Nations' total electricity consumption.

Once these two places are given up, or the residents above are only temporarily evacuated, the United Nations on Earth will be plunged into long-term chaos.

The officer marked red the systems that would be temporarily abandoned if a large-depth strategy were implemented.

"I am very clear about the consequences of temporarily abandoning Fatel and Alpha Planet."

Qi Zhengxi just said calmly after watching the officer focus on marking the two star systems, Fatel and Alpha.

"You know you still insist?"

"I just think this is a war that determines the survival of civilization. No amount of caution can be too much."

After a pause, Qi Zhengxi continued.

"If I adopt this strategy, then no matter how much stronger the Bazadi Empire is than we know, we have already made our best efforts. You are just talking about losing Fatel and Elfa colonies. We are What kind of difficulties will we encounter in the short term. But have you ever thought about what our outcome will be if we lose this war?"

Everyone in the venue was silent for a while.

Yes, this is a war they cannot afford to lose.

"But I think that's still too..."

"All right."

Chu Yunfei, Chief of General Staff of the Central General Staff Department, suddenly interrupted: "Commander Qi Zhengxi's deep-depth strategy is listed as a backup plan, and the construction of the fortress space station in the Beqi Galaxy will begin today."

"Yes."

"Commander Qi Zhengxi." Chu Yunfei looked at Qi Zhengxi on the screen and said solemnly.

"You are right, this is a war we cannot afford to lose, so we must be prepared for the worst."

Hearing the Chief of General Staff's affirmation, Qi Zhengxi breathed a sigh of relief and said after being silent for a while.

"When will the evacuation of people begin?"

"what is your opinion?"

Chu Yunfei asked back.

"today."

"impossible."

"But this matter cannot be delayed. There are 20 billion people in the Fatel colony and 16 billion in Alpha. If we find that the other side's military strength far exceeds our expectations after the war begins and we start to withdraw, it will be too late!"

As he spoke, Qi Zhengxi suddenly stood up.

"No, I know what you mean. This is not a military issue, it is a political issue."

Chu Yunfei said lightly.

"What do you mean?"

"We need definite evidence to prove that the Bazadi Empire's military power is now stronger than ours."

"The information obtained from those prisoners is already ten or twenty years old. Even if we assume that they are telling the truth, it is still outdated..."

Qi Zhengxi explained.

"There's no proof, is there?"

Chu Yunfei said calmly.

Qi Zhengxi fell silent.

"The evacuation of two colonial planets with more than a billion people is not something that our military can decide. It needs to be voted by the United Nations meeting. Do you think they will let this proposal pass now?"

Chu Yunfei simply presented the facts and reasoned.

To be honest, he also felt that the real fleet strength of the Bazadi Empire was much more than what they had learned from the prisoners.

If that's true, the combined forces of the United Nations and the Rock Republic can now kill the opponent.

Under such circumstances, how could the group of gentlemen at the United Nations meeting pass a proposal to shut down the two planets for who knows how many years?

Qi Zhengxi stood silent for a while, not knowing what to say, and slowly sat back.

"As you said, the survival of civilization is the first priority. There is no problem in building a fortress space station in the Bechi galaxy. Even if it is put at the United Nations meeting, how much it will cost, it should be unanimously approved. Because this is a matter of life and death, It’s about whether we can win this war in the end.”

"As for the evacuation of the people from those two planets now, this has nothing to do with the victory of the final war, but only the size of the losses in the final war. Based on our current speculation, there is no way for the above to make such a decision Decide."

"Ridiculous! You have to kill more than a billion people."

"This is just speculation, Commander Qi Zhengxi. Judging from the current paper data, our fleet strength is not worse than the comparison."

But that data is out of date.You should know this better than anyone else... you just don't want to be responsible.

Qi Zhengxi looked at the other people in the video conference with some excitement. It seemed that he was the only one preparing for defeat from beginning to end.

He looked at the calm eyes of everyone looking at him. He slowly calmed down his excitement, drank water silently, and stopped talking.
